Determining the SAS Release Used to Create a Member for CMS

You can use the CONTENTS procedure to display information about your data, which identifies the member and the engine that was used to create the member.

Here is an excerpt of typical PROC CONTENTS output:

    The SAS System
    The CONTENTS Procedure
Data Set Name: TEST.RECORDS
Member Type:   DATA
Engine:        V8

This output reports that the data set TEST.RECORDS is a member of type DATA, and that it was created with the V8 engine.
